MOTORISTS were delayed for up to an hour this morning (Friday 14) because of a car fire at Harley Shute Road, St Leonards. The fire is believed to have been caused by a car engine overheating and firefighters attended the scene at 08.52. A Bexhill motorist told the Observer: “It was just gridlocked all the way up Harley Shute and the delays were made worse because it was so foggy. It took me an hour to get to work. It was bad. I haven’t seen it that bad for a long time.”
